Calling all emoticons

[SUPERCOACH]

We really need some new emoticons.  Does anybody have any suggestions?  Maybe we can post a few links and take a poll.

Also, it is really easy to add new ones if we have graphics.  For example I might setup rtr to be some really cool Roll Tide Roll graphic.  I will make some custom ones eventually once the dust settles.  But for now maybe we can just find some better looking stock graphics to use.

Thanks.

I dont know anything about the technical side of all of that, but here is a link to a billion emoticons.

Good news!  This forum software allows each user to pick their own smiley set.  So we don't all have to agree on the same ones.  I just enabled this feature and installed a new set to play with.  The new set looks much better than the original ones.

Now if you go to your profile section, then go to "Look and Layout Preferences", you can pick which set you want to use.  Better yet... I think this link will work for everybody:  Click Here  EDIT:  Sorry that link only works for me.     My bad.

I will add a few more sets to pick from when we find some more good ones.  If they are designed to work with Simple Machines Forum it is trivial to install them.  If not we can still use them but I will have to do a little work to get them installed.

Ok, so I just figured out that other people see emoticons on their set, not the set you have it set on when you post.  Could result in some confusion.

This is true.  I guess that is why it is an option you can turn on or off.  But as long as they all map to the same general idea, I think we will be OK.  For example, maybe a certain poster wants his smiley faces to be cats, while another guy might want dogs.  As long as both convey the same idea it should be fine.

It could get pretty bad though if a smile on one set was actually a picture of a frown in another set.  We can play it by ear for a little while and if it becomes a problem I can turn if back off.

I clicked that link and it said I didn't have permission to change my profile settings.

Yeah that link doesnt work for anyone but supercoach since it goes to his profile.   Just go to profile -->> look and layout preferences

Sorry about that guys.  I will edit the post and remove the link.  I wondered about that and looked at the url before I posted the link, but I didn't see that little u=2 in there.
